Tips & Advice

What are the types of surveillance cameras?

Surveillance cameras come in three types: fixed, pan/tilt/zoom (PTZ), and 360-degree. There are also different types of camera housing: fixed box (traditional highly visible style used to house fixed cameras), dome (used with 360-degree cameras), bullet, outdoor (weatherproof), and covert/discreet. The smallest cameras/housing are pinhole or “spy” cameras that can be placed in a book, a smoke detector, a digital radio or, for children’s rooms, in a stuffed animal.Beyond basic types of camera, there are extra features that often define the entire camera. For example, motion detector cameras, low light cameras, and night-vision cameras.Buying surveillance cameras isn’t just about the equipment; it’s about the system the cameras are connected to. Systems can be wired or WiFi, and transmit data via IP or CCTV or standard WiFi.

Where is the best placement for home surveillance cameras?

The best placement of home surveillance cameras is typically over the entry points to the house--positioned to give a good view of all activity around that entry point, but too high up to reach. Since visible home surveillance cameras are proven to deter thieves, many people put several false or dummy cameras in prominent places around the home and yard, and place the real cameras so that they’re harder to see and/or reach. In addition to placing cameras above the front door, garage door, ground-level windows, and back door, experts recommend them for any exterior entrances to the basement as well.

How much does it cost to install a surveillance system?

The average cost to have a four-camera surveillance system professionally installed is between $1,400-1,500. The range people pay for the entire system is much broader--between $700-$2,100--and varies according to how many cameras are being installed, the quality of the equipment, and whether it’s necessary to pay for a permit. Also, average costs vary by city. Wired systems cost more to install than wireless.

Do surveillance cameras work in case of a power outage?

Surveillance cameras might work in a power outage, depending on the type of cameras. Those that transmit data over the internet will stop working once the internet goes out (this is common in power outages). IP cameras also tend to lose connectivity during power outages because they run off wireless network. Surveillance systems that work off phone lines will go out if phone service goes down. To ensure that a surveillance camera security system continues to work during power outages, have it set up with backup batteries, and use a company that has backup protocol so that if one data transmission system goes down, the system will switch to the backup.

What is the range of a wireless surveillance camera?

The range of a wireless surveillance camera, as in the distance it can transmit its signal, is anywhere between 100 and 500 feet, depending whether the signal is transmitting through open space or attempting to transmit between buildings or hills. Adding antennae can increase transmission range. Range of visibility is thing, and depends on the quality of camera. Cameras can have long-range visibility of 1,000 feet or more, although the quality depends on features such as optical zoom lens, night-vision capabilities, high definition PPF (pixels per foot), and long-range WiFi.

What is a network camera?

A network camera, also known as an IP camera, is a category of digital video camera only used for surveillance. A network camera can transmit and receive data over a wireless IP network. These cameras allow for real-time viewing.

Can CCTV surveillance video be viewed through the internet?

Yes, CCTV surveillance video can be viewed through the internet. AKA remotely, or via smartphone. In order to do this, you will most likely need an app and cell phone coverage.

How are wireless surveillance cameras powered?

Wireless surveillance cameras are often powered by a cable to a nearby power source. Surveillance cameras can, in other cases, be battery-powered, but the battery time is limited.

No, it is possible to install a home alarm system yourself. Some systems are specifically designed to be installed by homeowners. These systems are often cheaper and more customizable. However some systems require the expertise of a professional and installation should be left up to them to avoid making any errors. Review the specifications of the system and/or contact the manufacturer if you are unsure about its installation requirements.

I have been a customer for near 20 years and have found the customer service to be exceptional. The staff is fun and friendly and they all have an artistic eye for what eyewear will complement a person's face. My face is petite and most adult frames do not fit. Vicky went out of her way to ask a sales rep to come in and show me an entire collection of very cute petite frames. My entire family shops here and everyone has been very pleased with the wonderful service.

Optical Arts is by far the BEST glasses store in ohio! They have a huge selection and give you personal attention to find the frame that looks best on you!They have frames that will fit all budgets. Theyalso take picture of you so you can see yourself wearing 4 different frames which helps ALOT (especially when you cant see with out your glasses on) i would recommend them to everyone.

When I got my new pair of glasses, I could not see out of the right lens, it was almost twice as thick as the left lens. I asked for another appointment, and the lady argued with me telling me I needed time to adjust. I have been wearing glasses longer than she has been alive, I have never needed more than a few minutes to adjust to new glasses, not even my first pair.Someone somewhere in their department messed up, Instead of the assistant calling me all but a liar, they should own up to their mistakes, and make it right immediately, not expect me to wait a few days to try and see if my eye adjusts to a lens that it can not see out of even remotely.

Great Value, Friendly associates, professional staff.I had visited, and purchased from this S.O. Store, twice in the past 4 years. The staff is always professional, polite, and helpful.The Eye Dr. ("Dr. Ken") whom performed my eye exam, (for contacts) is a very knowledgeable professional, and very thorough, the price of which is reasonable (even with out health insurance coverage). The contacts I bought we a fair price and a good value.The staff was polite, greeted me upon arrival, made me feel welcomed and comfortable, and treated me with friendliness. (The eye doctor assistant, "Meghan", was not only very helpful before/during my exam, but also when my contacts arrived within in a very short period after ordering (less than 10 days), and when I picked them up. Meghan is a pretty valuable assistant/associate, and is one of the many reasons I will return to Staton Optical store at 5071 Monroe Street again, for my next optical needs in the future. Keep up the good work S.O! Thnx!

I bought out of my contract for 860.00 and now they have no record. Then they kept stealing more money out of my account for five months until I put a block on them. I've repeatedly called and gotten excuses after excuses. The owner Dimitrious said he expected one of his employees was stealing from him and he would get me my money back and cancel the account. Instead I am receiving collection calls from adt two to three times a day and Dimitrious is avoiding me completely. What a scam of a business. These people have stressed me out for over a year now. Learn from my mistake and go with a different company than adt for your security needs.
